My Mother (who we all call turbomom) and those that overcome the impossible - someone wise once told me "Never say Never!"
About me: i'm just aarrjj. mostly chill always down. experiece is my love. i'd do almost anything once as long as it doesn't kill me or cause me to be an addict. i also love my family and i truly cherish my real friends. i'd die for them. what can i say - i'm a giver. people, culture, design, and creativity are my passions. give me a new spot to divide and conquer and i'm there in a heartbeat. i like it when my heart skips a beat - it means life is exciting and i really like excitment. learning is exciting and i'm all about learning because life is learning and you can never know enough. when is enough really enough? Probably never but this i take into discussion with God. i hope he tells me what i need to know. i'm probably not listening half the time - I guess that's what makes me human. being on this earth is great. i have lots of ups and lots of downs but somewhere in between i feel like i'm really living. i like living it up. i work hard - i play hard. just ask anyone who knows me. i'd like to meet everyone in this world and hear about their life stories (as long as their not total pricks). I like meeting people and getting to know them. i also like watching people. i'm a people watcher. the beautiful ones i try to latch on to. yes i like beautiful people and i really enjoy great inner beauty. it's the person that counts, ya know. what can i say - i'm just aarrjj. mostly chill and always down =)
Tha FYI - Here's the basics I'm a mutt or as someone much cooler put it "a
cocktail". Filipino-Chinese-Spanish. Born in the Filipines but came to the states early on. That's right I'm 100% FOB. Some of my friends make this joke about “who is the real RJ
de Vera” because I have so many hats to wear. To me I'm just another guy trying to be somebody wanting to make some sort of difference in this world that we live in by trying
to inspire and help others in some way, shape, or form. I love inspiring others – it’s such a great feeling when you’ve been able to do something that has a positive affect on other peoples. The way I see it, I’m just the guy next door trying to get through life like the rest of the world – trying to experience everything the world has to offer and
trying not to get to caught up in the wrong things. Luckily for me, I’ve been blessed with a great family and wonderful friends who have inspired me to be a better person day by day, month by month, year by year. I'm also a total dreamer - always jumping off cliffs. I never know if I'll fall flat on my face or soar really high but I'll always take that chance. I guess I have a lot of belief in myself. I believe that your not living life unless your experiencing it to the fullest. The wonderful and/or dreadful experiences that I have had have lead me to feel on top of the world or down in dumps but I think I think you need to experience both
sides of the field to really be able to appreciate the blessings that God gives to us.
Currently my life revolves around cars. It consumes my life both in work and fun mode.
I just can't get it out of my blood. Well, not yet at least and I don’t know if I’ll ever get it out of the system but for now I’m having lots of fun so let's just say that it may be like this for a while. I do like to try new experiences and I’m always down to learn new things so I wouldn’t be surprised if one day I just woke up and decided to do something completely different. If any of you find some cool new things to do or check it – holla at brotha. I’ll
do almost anything once unless it’ll kill ya. I want to stick around if you get my drift. I am a total traveler. I love checking out new places and finding new stomping grounds to party at around the globe so if anyone ever feels like having a fieldtrip to any cool places - count me in! Well, that's the skinny on me. If you want to know anything else – just drop a line…
